Swan’s island tree trimming

Cessna123, do you require assistance after that crash.??

Crash.?? That was no crash, I always land like this...
 
Prop is moving, but flaps are up. Loss of power at take-off?
 
This video has a little more info, said it was part of a go-around. The airport is rather marginal, 1500’ runway, poor condition. I think the pilot was from NY.

Sounds normal for a 150.

That’s probably the bigger issue…if the pilot was near the runway before going around, there’s no way he’d clear those trees at the end of 1500 ft.
 
That’s unfortunate. Hate to see a square-tail 172 balled up.
 
Looks like he might should have grabbed flaps 10.
 
This is what happens when you flight cute little airplanes.

Trees Catch Plane That Was Too Little And Cute To Gain Altitude - Jalopnik

Just a little guy of a plane managed to get tangled in some trees after failing to gain altitude following an aborted landing last week. The Cessna 150 crashed while trying to land at the equally tiny Banks Airport on Swan Island in Maine on June 25.

Looked to me like he just couldn't leave them trees alone ...
